Rear Brake Option

[codo]

Hi Guys,

Just looking at the Rally Design 2010 catalogue and noticed the Wilwood Hydra Mechanical Caliper. Does this look like it could be an option instead of rear drums? There is a kit (BK64) for £219.45 + VAT.

 

Would this give enough stopping power or would I need to look at the Powerlite (Handbrake Caliper) instead? I am currently going to fit the Wilwood Sierra Donor (BK1S) kit to the fronts, so was wondering if the Powerlite would be too much for the rears.

 

I assume I would need the rear caliper mounts from a Sierra, are there any alternatives to these?

 

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

 

Cheers,

I would keep the Sierra drums. They work well and are free.

If youre changing to Wilwood calipers, run your set up via Rally Design...some of the Wilwood calipers wont work well with the standard Sierra master cylinder.

They were very helpful when I went through it with them, & they came up with a suitable setup that works very well.
